Video on a DVD has already been compresed and re- editing previously compressed video will produce lower quality results.

if the origonal owner of the footage has given is permission for it to be used he will porbably also be williing go loan you his master or make a copy of it on tape for you, That way there is no loss in quality

I actualy read that artical earlyer today myself and it was GREAT

[13]

you should also be making a master on tape for yourself anyway

The only reason I have repetdly said that you need copyright permission is because I have NEVER met anyone who wants to use clips from whe web who has the copyright permission.

Assuming that these ski resorts have given you permision to use images of there resorts they might also have some uncompress video you can use also. Anohter option would be to purchase some stock footage of ski resorts.

Using webcan footage is goiing to look terible and your final project is a refection of you. The better it looks the better you look.

If all you can get is webcam footage and you are fine with it lookiing lousy then use mpeg streem clip to convert it to a usible format, but like I said it will look terible.

like I said before if you can get copywight permission from the people then you can probably get a copy of the master as well

I always say get the origonal footage, Don’t work with compressed footage like that. If the copywright owner has given you permision to use there video then they will probably be williing to give you a copy of the origonal master.

also make shure that you constantly check your white ballance while shooting
